The chemical digestion of food is dependent on a whole range of hydrolase enzymes produced mostly by the cells lining the gut as

well as other associated organs such as the pancreas, salivary glands, stomach, liver and small intestine. The end goal is to break large food molecules into very much smaller building block units or monomers. These can then be readily absorbed through the into the bloodstream for transport to the liver and from there to other parts of the body.
Enzymes are both pH and temperature specific. Seen here are the reaction rates of three common digestive enzymes. Based on the data, which enzyme(s) require(s) the addition of HCl for optimum activity?

Answer:

Enzymes responsible for digestion of proteins.

Explanation:

Digestion may be defined as the process of break down of large food particles into the simpler substance. The digestive enzymes and digestive juices are required for digestion process.

Humans stomach has highly acidic pH. The highly acidic environment is important for the conversion of zymogens into the active enzyme. Pepsin is important that is activated by the acidic environment from the pepsinogen. Pepsin helps in the digestion of proteins.

The enzyme that is present within the stomach and the lining of the muscular gland, would function optimally in high H+ concentration and would require much HCl needed for an appropriate pH environment to function

This would be pepsin, I believe.

Answer:

They speed up chemical reactions. Without them you wouldn't be alive. They break down macromolecules, and also lower the amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to happen.

How can organisms be so unique if the nucleotides making up dna are all the same between organisms?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

All organisms are made up of the four nucleotide bases of the DNA. Yet still all organisms are different from one another due to the sequence of the arrangement of these nucleotides. The pattern of arrangement of the nucleotides determines which organisms will be more similar and which will be more different from one another. The pattern of arrangement leads to the formation of genetic code which will differ in organisms. Hence, all organisms are made of the 4 nucleotides but differ due to the pattern of arrangement of the nucleotides.

Pretty sure it's 2. She dyed her hair red so that means she does not have the genes for red hair. If she did, it would be passed to her kids with sex cells
